Bimodal buckling governs human fingers luxation
Massimiliano Fraldi, Stefania Palumbo, Arsenio Cutolo +2
Equilibrium bifurcation in natural systems can sometimes be explained as a route to stress shielding for preventing failure. Although compressive buckling has been known for a long…
Mechanobiology predicts raft formations triggered by ligand-receptor activity across the cell membrane
A. R. Carotenuto, L. Lunghi, V. Piccolo +6
Clustering of ligand-binding receptors of different types on thickened isles of the cell membrane, namely lipid rafts, is an experimentally observed phenomenon. Although its influe…
Buckling Soft Tensegrities: Fickle Elasticity and Configurational Switching in Living Cells
Massimiliano Fraldi, Stefania Palumbo, Angelo Rosario Carotenuto +3
Tensegrity structures are special architectures made by floating compressed struts kept together by a continuous system of tensed cables. The multiplicity of shapes that tensegrity…
